If I could steal from Fripp, I certainly would. If I could steal from John or from Fripp via John , I certainly would. And I would add thousands of other names to my list too.

Given the chance I would take it all in me. I would swallow it and I would disintegrate into those sounds and I’d ride in those huge guitar walls through all the walls in the surroundings including all the walls in the listening beings.

So what I am actually saying (with all this stuff sounding like I took too much acid in my experimental teen years (never existed) and survived jumping from a roof thinking I can fly only by having just barely enough intelligence to try my flying skills in the ground first) is I like R. Fripp. I love the stuff he did e.g. in King Crimson and with Eno. I haven’t listened to the new stuff as much but I encountered with it in Youtube some time ago and I am definitely going back to that someday. Ben Harper sounded pretty good too. I liked that fast in utero heart beat -rhythm (and I am not referring to that nicely cover arted album from the nineties). By the way also in King Crimson I like the drumming a lot. Something very poverfull in the rhythms and beats there. The drummers grip must be fripping…
